Nuyorican Cafe, San Juan

You never know what you'll find at the Nuyorican, where salsa dancing, spoken word and jazzy trumpets appear interchangeably. Down a tiny alleyway in Old San Juan, the Nuyorican looks a bit seedy, but it's all good. Pile in, order a pizza if you're hungry and see what they've got on tap—and we're talking beer and artists. Most nights you'll hear live jazz, but some weekends a DJ will step up and spin an entrancing mix of old-school salsa and dirty reggaeton.
